COIN-WRAPPING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters iatent.

Patented Nov. 15, 1921.

Application filed February 8, 1921. Serial No. 443,372.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ARTHUR D. Moran, a citizen of the United States, residing at El Paso, in the county of El Paso and State offTeXas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Coin-Wrapping Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a coin wrapping device or sheet for use in bank and other business institutions, and the primary object of the invention is to provide means as a part of the wrapping device or sheet for producing a permanent record by which the number of coins originally contained in the wrapper or wrapping device may be checked after the coins are removed there from. A further object of the invention i to provide record producing means for a coin wrapper or wrapping device in order that the wrapper itself may bear a record of the number of coins originally contained therein and may be presented as proof of error to a bank or person from whom a wrapped package of coins was originally received, thus obviating the necessity of counting. coins from the wrapper into a cash drawer or register when time is limited, as is frequently the case in making change, and, if a shortage develops, making it pos sible to subsequently utilize the wrapper as a check against the count.

With these and other objects and advantages in view, which will hereinafter appear, the invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the several parts which will be more fully hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawing:

Figure l is a plan view of a wrapping device or coin wrapper embodying the features of the invention and looking toward the inner side of the wrapper or device.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the improved wrapper or wrapping device shown as inclosing a number of coins.

Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section through the wrapping device or wrapper as shown by Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a longitudinal vertical section through the wrapping device as shown by Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a plan view of the wrapping device or wrapper looking toward the inner side thereof and showing the record of coins produced therein.

The improved wrapping device or wrapper comprises a sheet 5 of paper of the shape now commonly used. This heet of paper may be modified as to its dimensions in accordance with the size of the coins adapted to be inclosed thereby.

The improvement consists in applying to i the sheet 5 a strip 6 of carbon paper or other impressionable or copying medium. This strip 6 may be applied. to the sheet 5 either by attachment or direct imprint.

The coins are rolled and inclosed by the improved wrapping device or wrapper in the manner shown by Fig. 2, and, after the coins have been inclosed in this manner, pressure is applied to the strip 6 of carbon paper or other material preferably by tapping the roll of coins firmly upon a marble counter or other hard smooth surface directly over the indicated space, or by drawing an eraser thereover, rubbing the finger nail or any device adapted for the purpose over the said strip, to produce an impression of the edges of the coins on a part of the wrapping device or wrapper by means of the strip 6 at a distance from the latter strip, as shown at the left extremity of the wrapping device or wrapper illustrated by Fig. 6; and the marks or impressions so produced may be counted very easily after the coins have been removed. A record which will positively indicate the number of coins of any specific denomination that were inclosed by the wrapping device or wrapper and by means of which a count may be verified is thus produced.

In wrapping or inclosing coins of various denominations in wrappers not provided with my record producing means, errors constantly arise by reason of the wrappers not containing the number of coins indicated by a printed or pencil memorandum thereon.-

In such cases there is no proof of the number of coins originally contained in the wrapping device or wrapper, except the unsupported word of the person who may have opened the wrapper. The possibility of presenting some evidence of shortage, as the essential or underlying idea of the present invention, is therefore obvious, particularly since wrapped coins are usually accepted by banks from depositors or customers as they are put up and delivered to the bank ofiicials. When a shortage develops, either while in the hands of the bank or made known by a subsequent customer who may have received the wrapped coins, claim is made upon the original depositor whose name is usually applied by some means upon make good the shortage. By the use of the improved wrapping deviceor wrapperathe 7 number of coins originallyinclosed may be readily determined from the impression of the edges 01" the coins produced'by the strip 6 on another part of the wrapper, and there- 'b overcome misunderstandin and inconveniences which are now frequently experi enced are avoided. The improved wrapping device or wrapper will not materially add to the expense of devices of this character when the advantages above specified are taken into consideration. It is preferred that the strip 6 of carbon paper or other impressionable or copying medium extend across the sheet as shown, the length of the strip being governed by the general dimensions of the wrapping device or the size of the coins which are inclosed ping device. I g 7 What is claimed as new is: V

1. A wrapper of the class specified having amedium for producing on a part of the wrapper a record of the number of coins originally inclosed in the wrapper.

2. A wrapper ofthe class specified having by the wrap,

a medium for producing on apart of the wrapper the impressions of the edges of co ns -1nclos'ed in-the wrapper.v

3. A wrapper of the class specified consisting of a sheet for inclosing a number of coins and provided with apart for producing on a part of the wrapper the-impressions or" the edges of thecoins 'byxa pressure applied to the arty. y

4. A wrapper of the class specified having impression means to extend over the edges of a plurality of coins 'inclosed by the Wrapper to produce arecord as to the numberof sions of the'coins inclosed in the wrapper.
